Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.
A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves "socialist". The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes "true democracies". remember to censor usernames when necessary.

It's you because horseshoe theory is incredibly inaccurate and not really supported in social sciences.
Generally ideology being reduced to a simple 2D diagram is usually inaccurate and terrible
That's not the problem with horseshoe theory though.
